If its cool id like to join heres my high elf... thought it be intresting to add one here if any one objects ill change it to a dark elf


Name: Yaken Direnni

Age: 32

Race: High Elf

Birthsign: The Lady

Class: Monk of Ebonarm

Skills: Yaken, being a disicple of Ebonarm, is trained heavily in almost all forms of combat. Although he is very particular in his method of fighting. He prefers to use small concealed blades and his own bare fists...

General Appearance: He's around 6'6, his head is entirely shaven and he has an essortment of many tattoos across his body. His skin is an unnatural white color versus other Altmer who have a golden tone. He has typical sharp features one would see in a High Elf.

Clothing/Armour: Yaken very rarely wears armor due to the fact that all of his fights are started by him and he almost always gets the first and final strike but when he does he wears leather armor thats been dyed black. Other than that he wears a common monk robe along with regular sandals

Weapons: Although he is trained heavily in all forms of weaponry he only carries around a concealed glass dagger given to him by his master at the Citadel of Ebonarm. Also he carries around fifteen to twenty throwing knives which he keeps hidden in a special sheath that he constructed to wear around his arm underneath his robe

Character Traits: Yaken is a very odd Altmer due to his humblness versus his kinfolk who are usually snooty and almight. He also has a lack of respect for authority outside of the Citadel, not to be mistooken for rudness just he doesnt follow orders well. Yaken also has a strong hatred for all non elves. Although hes not a snooty bastard the enviroment he grew up in influnced his racism...

Biography/History: Born in Daggerfall he was abandonded as a child and left at a fighter guilds doorstep in the Alik'r Desert. He was taken in and showed true potential. He became the guild masters favorite very quickly and also became hated by the other students. One thing he had that everyother Altmer lacked was humility. His modesty always came off as disrespect to others and usually caused him trouble. He learned how to take a beating and pain became no stranger to him. After eighteen years at the guild he was given the choice to become the new guild master but instead gave it up and traveled to The Citadel of Ebonarm where he was taken in as a monk. There he was treated with utmost respect and honor. He still remained a very modest man and rarely ever left the Citadel. Although at a first glance he seems like a man who looked very quiet and keeped to himself and this was true for the most part. He stayed there untill his twenty-eighth birthday where he said his farewells and moved to Skyrim. Because Ebonarm is enemys with almost all Daedra princes Yaken made it his job to hunt down and kill all creations of Daedra gods. But when he was informed of the newly discovered ruins he jumped at the chance to explore

Im interested. should i PM you my sheet or post it here?

EDIT: assuming there's still room for me,

Name: Hjolifur the Speaker
Gender: Male
Race: Nord
Age: His Thu'um has extended his life well beyond that of a normal nord (Lore evidence for this is the Greybeards who are thousands of years old. He's not as good as them, but he is still capable enough to extend his life.) Assuming that Oblivion took 2 years, he is 116

Birth Sign: lord

Combat Skills (Limit Seven - Includes all game skills):
Long Blade, Heavy Armor, Thu'um, Tracking (like animals)

Non-Combat Skills (Limit Ten - Non-game skills):
Swimming, Teaching, Sailing, Farming (which includes knowledge of the plants and animals in his native skyrim)


General Appearance: His hair is the only quality of his that takes after his Clovian grandfather. Across Hjolifur's chest are three scars made from a wereboars claw while hunting as a child. Hjolifur's limbs contain manny smaller scars, but his face contains none. As with most nords, Hjolifur has blue eyes with exeptional 20/15 vision. Due to how his job pays, Hjolifur hunts and farms to feed his family; which keeps him in fairly good shape. 225 pounds and 6'2"

Hair Color: Greying brown hair
Eye Color: Blue eyes

Weapons: Iron broadsword with silver edges.

Armor: To class wears a heirloom White Clovian Fur Helm (given to one of his ancestors by King Reman II for service in battle against Resdayn) and a white Robe. When hunting wears what is left of his uniform in the war of Benfr'Mahk, a steel curiass and greaves just to be safe. On one of his adventures, King Thain of Skyrim himself gave him steel pauldrons, Steel boots, Nordic iron bracers, a Trollbone shield, and a Nordic Iron gorget (neck guard).

Other Items: Sack of spare clothes, some coins, emergency snacks, and a rolled-up blanket. It's mostly empty though.

Mental Condition: iendly, honorable and Intelligent. Although Hjolifur is strong, he is not the average 'dumb Nord' and has never had his clothed stolen by a Witch. This isn't to say that he's a genius, but he is capable of political debates and talking about scientific and magical discoveries. Hjolifur was offered his well-paying job as a professor at the College of the Voice, he turned it down saying "There are more worthy applicants than I, and I will not rob them of their promotion." Five years later, he accepted a full-time teaching job.


Brief History: Hjolifur was raised on a farm and taught the basics of farm life from his parents. His Father actually taught him to use the Thu'um. When Hjolifur was 13 and the War of Bend'r-mahk started, he ran away from home and fought for Skyrim. After the war he served in the army of Markarth Side Where his Thu'um and sword fighting skills developed. On leave at age 23, Hjolifur decided to return to his family's farm, only to find his parents eaten by Werewolfs. Even with his scar, Hjolifur never disliked werewolfs more than any other animal, but at this moment hated them witha burning passion. Hjolifur had his sword forged for him and rebuilt his family's farm. Hjolifur hunted werewolves across all of Skyrim and even Morrowind and High Rock. After meeting his wife Guma, Hjolifur settled down on his farm and started teaching at the College of the Voice. Although Hjolifur is capable of utilizing the Thu'um, most of the Shouts have been lost to time. His Thu'um is usually limited to breaking weak materials, sharpening some weapons, inflicting minor injury, cting as a strong form of Telekinesis, and minor healing. Hjolifur has three sons, all capable Tongues, and they have built farms near to his, which is 15 miles east of Markarth.

Okei-dokie then. Anyone still with the intention on participating, can you PM me your final character sheets.

Quick Notice: I would prefer to not have to deal with the annoying "get to know each other in a Tavern" part that hampers adventure RPs. So, quick heads up, this RP WILL start with all of you as either caravan guards, or passengers of that caravan. No taverns. I'm coming to hate those with a passion. It would also be really awesome if a few of you (you don't have to, I suppose) can work with each other so that your characters might already know another character, or two. Just to save us some awkwardness.

sure. I'm open to have met any resident of northern Tamriel (like draw a line from under hamerfell straight across to the bottom of Morrowind) while I was either hunting Werewolves or fighting in the war of Bendr'Mahk (although that only makes sense for a very old character, since it was 103 years ago)

Cool I think taverns are already done to death. Although my character would only know people from Winter Hold if at all.

I'm cool with knowing people, though most of the characters here wouldn't be the type of people Cordus would hang out with. Too old, you know?
